One thing I have found really useful for getting a layout you like is to pause game play, then place your buildings, but immediately uncheck the build instruction. This just then remains as a footprint of the building until you have the people/resources to build. My first play I got them to build all the buildings, but then people were so busy working in the various buildings, no one was actually building houses and everyone froze to death :/ Second play was more successful, and using the above method, I was able to get the layout I wanted but instructed each building to be built at a better pace
Something I noticed last night. If you have a lot of wells in built up areas they will run dry in the later game. The placeable tree's increase ground water so placing them around wells should slow or stop them from running dry.
Make that square a tiny bit larger and include these: Market / School / Healer + (1) Well + (1) Baker. The Baker provides a large bonus, like 3% per House and the Well provides a tiny bonus and is needed anyway. That should also be the 1st well you upgrade.
Lvl 2 storehouses hold early game gold (not much, but enough for early game). If you watch, when you built your 1st storehouse you gold jumped from 0 to 27.
No but you can be attacked... It starts as small raiding parties but eventually you could have entire armies coming at you with a hundred or more soldiers and battering rams!
Literally yelling at my screen for half the video, waiting for you to upgrade your town hall, that was ready from the start of this video...as you talk about what you can't build because it's tier 2
You’ll have trouble upgrading those shacks to homesteads with that set up I had to move a bunch of stuff around and ended up restarting lol. I have a nice map now resource wise and fertility but it’s so hard to pre plan and think about where my homes are going to go so I can continue upgrades
Some of the houses are quite close to the gold resource. I’m afraid that mine will cause your desirability to drop once it is created. I’m curious to see how you deal with that. I’m considering just making a second market in my setup to optimize tax income and have room for decorations.
Nothing says that part of town has to be the main high desirability area of the city though.. I'm going to have other market squares throughout the city as I expand.
@@TakaRUclips I agree , I usually start a farm immediately tbh, and then whenever it’s done I jjst do everything I can to get the soil right, since I don’t necessarily need the food right away I can spend an extra year or 2 JUST fixing up the field to get the best quality once I’m ready to plant 🪴
You can but tools are not needed and just increase efficiency. If you run out of tools you won't see a grinding halt anything until you can get your own.
I’m playing a new run through… plenty of fertile land and I’ve relocated heaps of blueberries for a little farm, but I can’t find any iron anywhere so I’m buying it from traders to make barrels. Spent a lot of gold so couldn’t afford cows when they were available for sale… sigh!
I'm really trying to understand this game because I have an ore mine and in order to upgrade my Town center I need to have iron but I can build an ore mine and I can't build the forge to be able to produce iron from the ore and I'm just at a total loss now with this game. I can put down an iron mine but I can't build a foundry to or forge or whatever to produce iron to store my gold and now this is driving me crazy.
This should not be that difficult. If you have an ore mine you should be able to build a forge or foundry so that you can produce iron well you can't do that until you do everything else to get your town center up to level 3 well that's impossible because you can't save up enough gold because you can't even build the place where you're supposed to store the gold even if you did have any gold coming in which I can't do. if I was able to find a gold mine which I still haven't been able to do is find the gold mines too then upgrade anyting I mean this is ridiculous I mean you need a foundary or forge to upgrade everything beyond where I'm at now and it's impossible.
How am I supposed to store gold ingots if I can't even produce iron from the or until I get to level 3 on the town center? This is impossible without the forge to be able to build the gold vault to store the gold. How am I supposed to store gold if I can't produce iron to upgrade the Town center to level 3 idont get this at all. This is beyond stupid and annoying.
So as far as I can tell, buildings like the Cooper that are available in Tier 2, require iron, which you can't produce until you get the Foundry at Tier 3. Am I missing something?
Every once in a while you'll get the perfect Merchant to stop by that not only sells Iron Bars but buys Gold/Iron Ore so you can literally "Trade" one for the other and end up with a massive pile of Iron Bars well before T3.
i do not think farms are worth it early on. They take too long to establish. i think foragers and fishing shacks are the way to go early game and then around year 5-6 start farms. IMO but i am loving the videos and the content
1 5x5 farm Will take until about year 4 to get ready... By that time you'll be around 40 or more people which is reaching the limit of what you can supply with early food production. So it kinda works out to get started early. Only 1 builder will work on it and 1 farmer after it's done. That's not a bad investment really
i really and seriously find this game very hard to play because i never manage to have a a good start up place and its really annoying tbh🤔🤔🤔😒😒😒 so any tips and help and suggestions is very welcoming🤔🤔🤔🙂🙂🙂 i'm kinda thinking of giving up really and ask for a refund and remove the game permanently from my steam library
I thought the same the first few days. But, the game is designed to make you feel like that way. Also, if you're down to 0 months of food, the people last a long time without dying from starvation. So, believe me, you do have time. If you want to test it out, just build your things without gathering food and see how much time you really have...A LOT.
Yeah bro the game suppose to be hard , the challenge is thriving and building up a successful city ( that also looks nice) and not dying. Lol We all gonna have different experiences, but nothing wrong with starting over and over , imo you learn something each time you start a new city! Don’t give up, if it’s TOO hard You can always adjust the settings and make that shit easy af. I personally like when my city dies after I put hours and hours into it just for it to crumble over some disease or raid or something I overlooked 😀😀 I have no soul 🖤
I do not get it I am playing on the hardest difficulty and I am easily to level 2 then I had to focus on food because I got more people and after that I could get level 3

Loving your commentary style, the way you tell us your thought process really helps.

Neat idea!
They really should adapt the Architect/Blueprint mode from Anno 1800. That, and possibly copying entire streets and layouts.

TY for this Guide.
Water is Life!
Coming from Anno I also can't seem to get away from the straight roads! Thanks for making this series - I'm learning so much!
Hold Shift.
Lvl 2 storehouses hold early game gold (not much, but enough for early game). If you watch, when you built your 1st storehouse you gold jumped from 0 to 27.
Loving these timelapses
love this game！hope they can fix the lazy builder issue!
Is there like other villages or cities u can go to war with?
No but you can be attacked... It starts as small raiding parties but eventually you could have entire armies coming at you with a hundred or more soldiers and battering rams!
Literally yelling at my screen for half the video, waiting for you to upgrade your town hall, that was ready from the start of this video...as you talk about what you can't build because it's tier 2
I knew I could.. I usually wait until winter to do that stuff. Don't ask me why. It's just a thing.
Thanks for the videos. They are great. Can you tell us map seed please?

Nah trust me heh.. I'm pretty far ahead right now from this episode. All's well 😜

You can buy tool in trade post
You can but tools are not needed and just increase efficiency. If you run out of tools you won't see a grinding halt anything until you can get your own.

The game definitely can make it hard on you! But then it is a survival game
You can relocate resources?
@@bonnien1383 I believe only blueberry bushes can be moved.
what is that map seed?
leave a space between city town hall and road for wall

You have to trade to get the iron ingots in T2 if you want to produce those things. It's essentially offering a decision making point for the player
@@TakaRUclips Ah, ok, as a means of forcing you to use the Trading Post, I guess that makes more sense.
Every once in a while you'll get the perfect Merchant to stop by that not only sells Iron Bars but buys Gold/Iron Ore so you can literally "Trade" one for the other and end up with a massive pile of Iron Bars well before T3.

Your speed build of not telling what your are building and why and why your placement isn't very helpful!!!
